Let's new to the book write podcast. It's weekly news and talk show about what's new, cool

and we're talking about in the world of books and reading this episode of 373 are recording on Thursday

April 30th Rebecca Shinsky here joining me as always the last day of April

looking at May looking at June looking in July looking at a big

roadmap of haze it feels like a little bit you know yeah it it does I I think it was our coworker Clint sent me a wink to like a t-shirt or something that was like

20-20 is a leap year like February has 29 days March has 30 April has five years.

And I was like, but what is May going to be?

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know.

It's tough to say, you know, like, I usually feel like May 1st, you know, every month changes just in case anyone was wondering

about their cells, but you know not every month is the same of a turn like I feel

like August to September is a out of scale meaningful turn of course December to January but

sneakly I think April to May February to March like you can pretend you're not in

winter but sneakly April to May feels like, you know, maybe it's fourth out of 12 on the meaningful changes

because it's like, well, May is summer. Part of May is summer, right? So maybe I'm in summer now. Weather's getting nice, May in October, my two favorite

months, I would say. And so of my many resentments, and it's way down the list about what's going on in the world

that this has taken the feeling of May away because we only get so many May's Rebecca

I don't have it fit in May'says later. Yes I'm having a similar you know if we can

play our tiny violins for these moments but they're still real violins.

This is one of the best times of year to be outside and normally going outside or like I took the day off earlier this week to go hiking at a state park that was blessedly like completely empty.

That's usually like kind of a sacred and really enjoyable thing for me and now it's just a survival thing of like,

well, I need to move my body and I like going outside and breathing fresh air whatever
